I heard mega buzz around this book and what can I say? I’m weak! I just had to read it! I was not disappointed.
Cori decides to go on a missions trip the summer before she goes to university in order to sort out her feelings in regards to her boyfriend. Once she arrives, she finds the work physically exhausting, but she bonds with her teammates. Tragedy strikes, however, and soon Cori and her team find themselves fending for their lives in the jungles of Indonesia.
This book is great on two levels. First of all, it’s a page turner. You simply have to know what happens next so you find yourself turning page after page to follow the adventure. Secondly, it explores some pretty complex issues. It succeeds in taking you outside of yourself and encourages you to think about what is important in life all the while entertaining you. I mean, there’s even a little romance. While this book is written from the perspective of a teenager, it’s not a YA book.
I give this book ten out of ten stars and hope you’ll pick it up today! All author royalties from this book go to International Justice Mission and Opportunity International.
